Creative Thinking & Innovative Decision Making

Introduction

The recent significant progress in technology has increased our communication and reach and this has made the environment highly competitive. To survive in this competitive market, people need to do everything they can to stand out and win or risk falling to the bottom. It is now clear that those who innovate and use creativity in their roles and make quicker decisions in just about any job stand to succeed while those who don’t use all the resources at their disposal may be overrun by others.

Creativity and decision-making come to define our life and some of them may have a profound effect on the journey we take. However, these are not an easy tasks and sometimes you may find yourself pondering on alternative courses of actions for hours, days or even months.

Creativity and decision-making are not something people are born with; they are skills. Like any other skill it can be mastered and channelled towards specific goals with incredible results. Innovative organisations don’t rely on geniuses to create the next best product or service. Instead, they work hard to create an innovation-friendly environment that energises the staff and helps to bring the best out of everyone.

This course attempts to teach people using experiential activities. Creativity and decision-making cannot be taught, and you can’t learn them unless you practise it.
